    But a property named "CrAzY" is indistiguishable from a property named
    "crazy" -- it's not case sensitive as far as identification goes.  (Even
    though the property name can contain different case characters..) So the
    built-in decides that you're not actually doing anything, and so doesn't
    do anything...
